Q.
Two particles of masses m1, m2 move with initial velocities u1 and u2. On collision, one of the particles get excited to higher level, after absorbing energy ε. If final velocities of particles be v1 and v2 then we must have

Solution:
Total initial energy of two particles =21m1u12+21m2u22
Total final energy of two particles =21m2v22+21m1v12+ε
Using energy conservation principle, 21m1u12+21m2u22=21m1v12+21m2v22+ε ∴21m1u12+21m2u22−ε=21m1v12+21m2v22
